AUC-460-TRF Transmitted & Reflected Wafer Inspection Microscope
TRANSMITTED & REFLECTED WAFER INSPECTION
AUC-460-TRF Transmitted and Reflected Wafer Inspection Microscope
Inspect wafer and flat panel display samples with transmitted and reflected illumination in one large-format industrial microscope system.
The AUC-460-TRF is designed for semiconductor wafer and flat panel display inspection when both transmitted and reflected viewing are required. The supplied 12-inch wafer-holder arrangement supports wafers up to 300 mm in diameter and FPD samples up to 17 inches. Upper and lower illumination can be controlled independently to suit the sample and inspection method.
50×–500× magnification · transmitted and reflected bright-field/dark-field · 12 × 14 inch stage · 300 mm maximum wafer diameter · 17 inch maximum FPD size
Inspection features
- Two illumination paths: reflected bright-field/dark-field and transmitted illumination, with independent control of upper and lower light.
- 50×–500× magnification using the supplied 10× eyepieces and objective set.
- Tilting trinocular head: 0–35° adjustment, erect image and 50–76 mm interpupillary range; selectable 100:0 or 0:100 light split.
- Motorised sextuple nosepiece: electric forward/reverse controls, DIC slot and repeatable objective selection.
- Stable frame: low-centre metal construction with six levelling feet to help maintain image stability.
- Front controls: conveniently positioned electrical controls for the nosepiece and reflected-light aperture diaphragm.
- Quick stage movement: clutch-operated rapid movement with a linear guide for controlled positioning.
